All's Well That Ends Well...

I guess we had a few things to be thankful for this week...

-The exterminator was able to come out the afternoon after we found the yellow jackets' nest. He was able to keep the spray contained to the inside of the hive, so it kept the house pesticide free. We slept downstairs one more night, cleaned up some dead yellow jackets on the floor and were back in business.
-Eli recovered quickly from his sting. His hand was still pretty swollen the next day, but it went down by the end of the day and he didn't seem to notice. However, he did suffer from one seriously bad haircut on Friday...luckily it was able to be repaired. Eli also (finally!) cut his first molar and is sleeping much better again.
-Turns out the leaky sink faucet can be fixed with a new cartridge that just drops in the top...no need to remove and re-install the 200 lb farmhouse sink.
-The moldy smell in the downstairs bathroom ended up being caused by water that was trapped between the shower pan and the door frame...some serious bleaching and a solid coat of caulk were all it took to repair.(Unfortunately, Shane discovered this after he disassembled the shower walls, cut into the sheet rock and removed the wainscott on one wall. At least the bathroom doesn't stink anymore!)

So, I guess it is true what they say-all's well that ends well!
(I'll try to get some updated pictures up this week, but it's conference week at school, so no promises!)
